It opened years ago but many in Jeddah haven’t even heard about it.

Dhaban is known for its lip-smacking seafood and plentiful istrahas (resorts) that are thronged by Jeddah residents over the weekend. There, however, happens to be a place in Dhaban that cost millions to build, is spread over an area of a whopping 110,000 square meters and for some reason has been out of the radar of Jeddahwis.

We visited it recently and it was way beyond our expectations, so let us give you 7 reasons why you probably should visit the place this weekend.

1. It is amazing for walking just like Jeddah’s walkways except here you’ll be doing it by the sea

They even have a few exercise equipment spread over various areas in case you want to do more than just walking or jogging
